Description
BOBBY LEWIS QUINTET
Bobby Lewis, trumpet/flugelhorn
Pat Mallinger, saxophone
Jeremy Kahn, piano
Stewart Miller, bass
Ernie Adams, drums
Curtis Mayfield, Natalie Cole, Ramsey Lewis, Jerry Butler, Donny Hathaway, Gladys Knight. Those are just some of the people Bobby Lewis has played with. Oh, and Peggy Lee. Peggy Lee! She said Bobby has “a sound like no other. I like him best when he plays in pastels, but every note is beautiful … is loving. Bobby loves life as he loves music … and I love Bobby Lewis.” Wow. In a career of more than 7500 recording sessions and over a dozen of his own CDs, musically, Bobby Lewis has seen and heard it all. In fact, he’s played it all. And at 89(!) years young he is still at it, stronger than ever. Bobby is unstoppable and ageless, and I must admit it feels like a pure act of selfishness when I invite Bobby to Studio5. I not only have a ball, I learn so much about music ... and life, just being around him. I am eternally grateful for his friendship and it will be an honor to present Bobby and his GREAT quintet again on our stage. Join us for an evening of outstanding music and fascinating stories from Bobby’s legendary career. –SR
